He never asked how, where, or if there are any suspects. During his interrogation, when we asked about a cut on his hand, he claimed the cut was from golfing and that he reopened it when he smashed some glass in his hotel room (Linder). He boarded the first plane back to Los Angeles, that’s when he found us at his home conducting a full scale investigation. After we obtained enough evidence, we released a warrant for the arrest of Orenthal James Simpson.

The day was June 12, 1994 and only a few people would know that it would become a very important day in United States history. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman are stabbed in Simpson’s Los Angeles home. Nicole Brown was the ex-wife of NFL superstar O.J. Simpson. O.J. came home the day after the murder and he found the police waiting for him and they placed him under temporary arrest.

Once a well-rounded guy, Simpson born in San Francisco, had a successful college football career at USC, winning the Heisman Trophy.

The 1995 trial of OJ Simpson, a famous football player, created a “media circus” which enraptured the United States and the world. In this trial, Simpson was accused of the murder of his wife and Ronald Goldman. His trial came into the limelight during the car chase leading to his arrest; an estimated 95 million people watched on television. Yet, the car chase was not the only reason for the case’s popularity. Simpson, his lead attorney Jonnie Cochran, and many jury members were African Americans. This led to the division of those involved, the nation and any other people watching the trial, on racial lines. Defense Attorney Jonnie Cochran appeals to the African American side as he lays out all the vital facts in this argument. Cochran uses a combination of all three appeals, although he relies heavily on the logical and emotional, to persuade the jury of the prosecution’s impractical defense and of OJ Simpson’s innocence.

A men’s Bruno Magli, size 12. OJ Simpson lied about the shoe evidence and was caught in the lie. OJ Simpson is a size 12, but he told the investigators and police he would never wear such a ugly pair of shoes. Prosecutors then pulled out about thirty photos of OJ Simpson wearing those shoes. They stated that only 299 pairs of size 12 was distributed in the united states of this shoe brand and only 9% of shoes in the united states are a size 12. Therefore there more than likely there is no one else who could possibly have a size 12 in those shoes. OJ Simpson was then caught in the lie. They found all this evidence out after the criminal trial. Had they found it before the trial it would have been a game changer and OJ Simpson may have been locked up behind the bars like he should have.
